Environmental management promotion system

The Company recognizes climate change as important management issues for the preservation of the global environment, and the Board of Directors determines policies for addressing climate change and oversees their status.Specifically, the Director and Group CIDO reports periodically (at least once a year) to the Board of Directors on the Group’s risks and opportunities related to climate change as well as their status. Based on these reports, the Board of Directors determines policies and targets (KPIs) for addressing climate change.
Additionally, during the Board of Directors' regular monthly meetings, the Director and Group CIDO provide updates on the progress of initiatives aimed at addressing climate change policies and meeting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These updates are included as a vital component of the corporate governance report, and the Board of Directors oversees them accordingly.
